Great for these types of students

self-motivated determined mission minded leader-followers Christians

Tips for prospective students

If you are thinking of going here, talk to the student life office about anything. make sure you get into constant communication with people. who knows, once you get on campus that could be what helps you stay afloat your first year.

Bang for the buck

the cost is not that bad when you look at the classes and the cost of other schools.

Am enjoying being here

I like most of the students but some students like to make clicks which i don't really like. but the teachers and a lot of the students are super cool and fun to be around.

Am learning a lot

The teachers push you to do your best but also help you out in your classes. it's a joy for sure.

Jerry from Lawrence, MA

The school is great for any Christian that wants to learn more about their faith and the bible. The school is looking for Christian Leaders to shape the Church and change the world.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Tim Tebow visits the school in March

What to do for fun

Make sure to check out the city and become familiar with it. Great areas to go are Clifton (college hipster area), Eden Park (recreational park), Fountain Square (downtown), Newport (shopping center), etc.

Academic Rigor

Bible intensive

Tips for prospective students

In three sentences

Cincinnati Christian University prizes community over everything else. The school takes pride in being well connected and well networked throughout christian community. The school has excellent courses from professors with excellent insight.

Michael from Cincinnati, OH

Besides the events on campus, there is plenty of restaurants, events, movie theaters, stores, coffeshops, concerts, and general city events to do.

Food and Dining

There are the Hilltop Coffee Shop and the Golden Eagle All you care to eat. Both of these offer different food. The coffee shop is a bit more expensive, but typically better quality. The Golden Eagle typically has at least one food that is good, but the rest is subpar. There is a sandwich bar during lunch time with fresh sandwiches that always tastes good though.

Dorm Life

There are many activities on campus, and CCU definitly caters to residents. There are great places around the area to go and check out, and almost every other week there is some sort of event, laser tag or a roller derby, or something to go to.

Academic Rigor

Some classes are hard, while some are easy. Ask upper classmen who to take for each class.

Tips for prospective students

Look into all the information taught in class on your own (in this way being like the Bereans mentioned in Acts). Ask Professors out to lunch, and get connected.

In three sentences

It is a good place that will challenge what you think about Christianity. If you live on campus, this place has a lot to offer you in terms of activities, events, and great places around town. If you're a commuter, it does leave some lacking.

Michael from Cincinnati, OH

Campus safety is excellent. The university takes pride in protecting the property and the students of Cincinnati Christian University.

Greek Life

Those that are interested in Greek life can join an honors fraternity at the university.

Clubs and Activities

The university gives students the opportunity to minister in the community. There are service days that are given twice a year when the university will shut down for the day an do a service day. Students are given the opportunity to form teams that will go into the surrounding community to serve the people of that community.

Great for these types of students

Students with any academic difficulties can go to the academic center in the main worship building on campus.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Every Tuesday and Thursday the university holds chapel on campus. The university honors past alumni. They bring in different people like Tim Tebow to inspire and encourage students.

Bang for the buck

If you are into sports, the university provides cross country, basketball, baseball golf and various other activities for the students. They provide small groups for students that they can hear what other students are going through. These groups let them know that they are not alone in their thinking and what they are going through. The university provides on-campus counseling for students that feel stuck in any kind of way.

What to do for fun

The University just started here recently a student sneak day. This is a day that gives the students and the faculty a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday studying. This is a day that the students get to let off some steam and build teamwork among their peers.

Food and Dining

The food is good and freshly cooked every day. They give you a variety of choices. They take pride in giving the students the nutrients that they need to be effective in their studies.

Dorm Life

I have not live in the dorms. But I do hear and receive e-mails of how accomodating the dorms are for the students that live on campus.

Academic Rigor

I rate the academic rigor at Cincinnati Christian University at a four star. No university is perfect, but they are very close to it.

Tips for prospective students

If you are looking to go into ministry, Cincinnati Christian University is the place for you. This is a place where you can gain the tools that you will need in order to be affective in the ministry. This is the place where you can grow and strengthen your relationship with God.

In three sentences

Cincinnati Christian University is a great place to learn more about Jesus. This is a place where the teaching staff really cares about what their students are learning. The professors and university staff are very professional and equipped to create leaders of the future.

What to do for fun

There is a recreational/pool hall in the student area. This includes a snack bar, pool tables, dart boards, carpet boards (I admit, I have no idea what these are), and plenty of student-designed artwork to appreciate.

Food and Dining

Yum. Truly. Need I say more?

Dorm Life

As an adult student, I don't live on campus. But the environment and atmosphere I've encountered here on campus is much more inviting and comfortable than any other campus I've ever visited.

Academic Rigor

This program is a must for those of us who love to write (and write, and write). If you aren't efficient with tests, quizzes, and/or the multiple-choice route to school, this is the degree for you!

Tips for prospective students

You MUST be prepared to maintain perfect attendance. In the Adult Program, there is one class per week (6pm-10pm); and the classes are only in session for 5 weeks. Therefore, one missed class could put you behind by a full letter grade.

In three sentences

This is the only college I've found nearby that offers a sort of Second-Chance Degree. I dropped out of college in 2001, made a lot of mistakes, and wasted nearly ten years of my life. At 30, I looked around me and realized that I had to do SOMETHING; and the CCU Adult Learning Program welcomed me with open arms (along with taking care of my financial aid, scheduling, and textbooks).
